Movies for you:

In Netflix (English series): Kim's Convenience (Comedy genre), Emily in Paris (a chick flick), Blink Empire (a reality show where you can hear ordinary Americans/English speakers speak more normally and at a slower pace). I can't recall any good British movies unfortunately.

Famous old beer hall in Prague for the authentic local food and beer hall atmosphere https://en.ufleku.cz/ 
What to buy: Garnet jewellery is famous there but be careful what you pay for them. They also have good dry sausages which you can find in supermarkets or at a butchery. Usually they are hung somewhere, and look like salamis. You can easily bring them home since they are dry and preserved. 好像腊肠不过大一点。These are also good in Austria and Germany. They are already cooked and preserved, so just open and eat with bread like you do with a slice of ham.

In Austria and Germany, you can get very cheap and good quality vitamin tablets (from shops like Müller, DM, Rossman and in some supermarkets). Of course, the chocolates are cheap and good too. And if you like marzipan, they are available in most supermarkets. 

In Vienna, you must try to go to one of their old coffee houses with lovely old atmosphere. Vienna/Austria is famous for cakes and patisseries. Choose one of these maybe: https://www.wien.info/en/dine-drink/coffeehouses/top-traditional-coffee-houses-in-vienna-361666

「或許」和「可能」在中文中都表示「不確定」，但兩者在語氣和程度上略有不同。

「或許」的語氣較為委婉，表示說話者對某件事的發生機率不確定，但傾向於認為會發生。例如：

明天或許會下雨，出門記得帶傘。

「可能」的語氣較為中立，表示說話者對某件事的發生機率不確定，但沒有偏向任何一方。例如：

他可能明天會來，也可能不會。

此外，「或許」還可以表示「也許」、「大概」的意思，而「可能」則沒有這層含義。例如：

這或許是他最後一次機會了。

這件事可能與他有關。

總體而言，「或許」的語氣較為委婉，程度較為肯定，而「可能」的語氣較為中立，程度較為模糊。

以下是一些具體的例子：
